[nsd-users] CNAME from another zone

[Mohammad H. Al-Shami]

Thanks Stephane,

My current configuration is working properly. The thing is I'm trying to understand why this is happening.

If I remove the SOA record still the same result. If I understood correctly, I can't add a CNAME record for the domain itself, tagiti.com in this case, but I can do www, ftp, ... etc.

Right?

Regards,
